The Scenic Road Home
Who I had been was no longer who I
was. In 2004, at the age of 45, I found
myself widowed. It was an invitation to
discover who I would be for the rest of my life… who I am in God! I was afraid and very doubtful, but in 2009 I
entered a religious community. After
more than three years, I knew that it was not where I belonged. I asked God what we were to do with God’s
call now. God brought me to the Sisters
of the Humility of Mary. My journey has
taken me from North Carolina, to Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, back to North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, and now back to Ohio again. Each step has brought me closer to God and
finally now, it has brought me home to the community where I belong. I am not afraid anymore. More and more I am learning who I am in
God. God wants each of us to live our
true calling. For me that is to be a
woman religious and a Sister of the Humility of Mary. On September 6, I professed first vows. I look forward with deep peace and joy to the
day I am able to profess final vows. Deep
peace and joy is what God offers. Do you
hear God’s invitation?
